There are a large number of varieties of white cabbage, but one of the most popular late hybrids remains the Ammon variety. Ammon cabbage was bred by Russian breeders specifically for growing in open ground.

Characteristics of cabbage variety Ammon f1

Description of Ammon cabbage

Ammon cabbage heads have a round or slightly flattened shape. The diameter can vary from 15 to 30 cm. Their weight reaches 2-5 (less often 4-6) kg. The color of the outer layer of the leaves of the head of cabbage is gray-green. It is slightly whitish inside.

The leaves on the stem of Ammon cabbage are dark green, covered with a noticeable waxy coating.

The leaf plates are thin, tightly adjacent to each other. The stalk is short, occupying approximately a quarter of the diameter of the head of cabbage. The taste is pleasant, fresh, completely without bitterness.

The variety is late ripening. The growing time is 125-135 days from the moment the seedlings hatch. In cold regions, they can take up to 5 months, and the crop will have time to ripen.

The difference between late-ripening heads of cabbage and early ones

Recently, many varieties of late cabbage have been selected for storage . What is the difference between late-ripening heads of cabbage? For example, early varieties can ripen within three months from the moment of germination, mid-season varieties - within 4 months.

But late cabbage will require almost 6 months from the moment the seeds are planted to fully ripen. Due to its late ripening, it has the following qualities:

• long shelf life: can be stored fresh, in a cool room, until the next harvest;
• high productivity;
• the transportability of heads of late cabbage varieties is at the highest level;
• When pickled or salted, it retains all its taste, valuable vitamins and texture.

Attention : All late varieties of cabbage during storage not only do not lose their taste, but also significantly improve them. In addition, nitrates do not accumulate in the heads of cabbage.

Pros and cons of Ammon cabbage

The positive properties of the variety include:

• excellent keeping quality and transportability;
• long-term preservation in field conditions;
• high productivity and a small percentage of non-marketable fruits;
• resistance to fusarium and thrips.

Among the disadvantages of Ammon cabbage, it should be noted:

• the need for frequent watering and fertilizing;
• difficulty in acquiring seed material.

Based on the totality of its characteristics, the Ammon variety is one of the most promising for cultivation throughout almost the entire territory of Russia.

Characteristics of Ankoma cabbage

Like most mid-late and late-ripening varieties, Ankoma F1 cabbage is used for long-term storage and industrial processing. It has good taste and is resistant to transportation without compromising its presentation.

Here are the main characteristics of the hybrid white cabbage variety Ankoma F1:

Productivity and fruiting

Cabbage variety Ankoma F1 is grown mainly by seedlings in open ground. Seeds for seedlings are sown in February or March, transplanting into open ground is carried out at the end of May or at the beginning of June. A distinctive feature of Ankoma F1 cabbage is its uniform ripening, all heads of cabbage grow approximately the same size. They reach commercial maturity in September. The average yield is about 500 c/ha, the maximum recorded is 714 c/ha.

Application area

Ankoma F1 cabbage can be stored fresh for quite a long time. If the storage conditions are met, the heads of cabbage can be stored until May of next year. Good taste makes this variety suitable for fresh consumption, as well as for canning, for example, pickling or pickling.

Quite often, cabbage of this variety is used to prepare cabbage rolls and other semi-finished products stored frozen.

Resistance to diseases and pests

If the growing conditions are met, this hybrid variety is relatively rarely affected by diseases. The originator notes its resistance to Fusarium wilt; other diseases also affect cabbage of this variety quite rarely. Of the pests, the cabbage fly is the most dangerous. The larvae of this insect gnaw through the stalk, which leads to wilting and further death of the seedlings. They fight this pest with tobacco dust mixed with wood ash. This product is sprinkled on young bushes of seedlings for several days until the flies completely disappear.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Ankoma F1 cabbage has quite a lot of advantages. These include the following positive qualities:

1. Versatility of purpose.
2. High taste qualities.
3. Long shelf life.
4. Good presentation.
5. High shelf life and transportability.
6. Possibility of growing without seedlings.
7. Resistance to fusarium.
8. Resistant to adverse weather conditions.

An important feature of late varieties of cabbage, including the Ankoma F1 variety, is their increased content of vitamins C, PP and U. Regular consumption of this vegetable is an excellent prevention of gastrointestinal diseases, reduces the risk of gastritis and ulcers, and helps cleanse the body of toxins

100 g of this vegetable contains only 27 kcal, so I can fully call it a dietary product.

The main disadvantage of this variety is the need for preventive treatment of plantings with fungicides against diseases such as downy mildew, blackleg and others.

Productivity of cabbage variety Ammon

The yield of the cabbage hybrid Ammon F1 is very high: up to 600 centners per hectare, that is, 600 kg per hundred square meters. Such indicators make it possible to classify the hybrid as an industrial crop that can be grown in agriculture for commercial purposes.

Important! Ensuring such yield indicators requires compliance with agricultural technology. Timely loosening and watering are especially important.

There is only one way to increase the yield of Ammon cabbage - by increasing planting density.

Reducing the distance between heads or rows to less than 40 cm is not recommended, since the crop will be cramped

An increase in fertilizer application rates has virtually no effect on yields.

Recommended cultivation areas

Late-ripening cabbage differs in the duration of ripening .
Therefore, it is not recommended to plant it in central Russia and the northern regions. The summer there is cold, and the crop simply does not have time to ripen. But in the south of the country, where gardeners harvest two crops of early-ripening varieties, you can safely plant late-ripening cabbage.

But some farms and summer residents practice growing late cabbage in Siberia, sowing seeds for seedlings at home. Late cabbage can also be grown in modern heated greenhouses .

Planting and caring for Ammon cabbage

Like all cruciferous vegetables, Ammon cabbage thrives in fertile soil of moderate moisture and medium looseness. For planting, choose a sunny area protected from the wind. Preliminary preparations are carried out in the fall of the previous year. Add 500 g of lime and half a bucket of peat and humus to the soil for each square meter.

Seeds are planted in the spring, usually at the end of April. Planting is done in rows located at a distance of at least 50 cm from each other. Seeds are placed in each of the grooves at a distance of 2-3 cm. After sowing, the area is mulched with humus and watered abundantly.

Important! In order to avoid the appearance of weeds, it is recommended to treat the planting with Semeron.

In the future, as soon as the sprouts appear, they are thinned out, leaving the strongest ones at a distance of 40-50 cm from each other.

With earlier cultivation, seedlings are sown in mid-February. Before planting, the seeds are soaked in water for half an hour. You can use regular garden soil as a growing substrate. The seeds are buried into it by 1.5 cm and the container is covered with film or glass, maintaining a constant temperature around + 20 °C. As soon as the first shoots appear, the film is removed and the seedlings are sent to a cool room (not higher than + 9 ° C).

2-3 weeks after germination, seedlings are planted in small individual pots

Planting in open ground occurs in early May. By this time, the seedlings have 6-7 leaves.

Caring for Ammon cabbage requires regular watering and fertilizing. From time to time, plants need hilling (the height of the stem from the ground to the head should not exceed 10 cm).

Watering is carried out once every 3 days, without over-moistening the soil. It is best to produce them in the morning, but you need to make sure that water does not get on the heads of cabbage. After watering, it is advisable to loosen the soil to a depth of 5 cm.

Fertilizers are applied once a month. This can be either organic or mineral supplements:

• humus;
• peat;
• superphosphate;
• nitrophoska, etc.

Organics have a standard dosage - about 2-3 kg per 1 sq. m. m. The application rates of mineral fertilizers range from 20 to 35 g per 1 sq. m. m depending on planting density.

Care

Regular watering

Moderately moist soil has a beneficial effect on the density and juiciness of heads of cabbage. It is recommended to water it no more than once every 3 days, avoiding waterlogging.

Hilling

One of the main conditions for good cabbage growth is timely hilling. This procedure is carried out 2 times:

• 14 days after planting seedlings in the ground;
• a month after the first hilling.

Fertilizer

Cabbage needs feeding

Most often fertilized:

• humus or peat;
• wood ash;
• superphosphates;
• nitrophoska.

Diseases and pests

In general, the hybrid has high resistance to many diseases, but some of them still appear on the beds with regular intervals. For cabbage of the Ammon variety, this disease will be blackleg. This is an infection caused by a fungus of the Erwinia family.

The symptoms of the disease are quite stereotypical - the appearance of brown and then black spots on various parts of the plant

Stems are predominantly affected, most often at the seedling stage.

There is no treatment for the disease. Damaged specimens are dug up and burned. After removing foci of infection, the soil is sprayed with a 0.2% solution of potassium permanganate in water. Prevention of the disease helps well - it is recommended to treat the seeds before planting with Granozan (0.4 g of the substance is enough per 100 g of seeds).

The main cabbage parasites - thrips and cruciferous flea beetles - almost never attack the cabbage hybrid Ammon F1. The only serious pest that remains is the common white butterfly. The second and third generations of this insect (appearing in July and September) can significantly reduce the yield of Amon cabbage.

Cabbage white caterpillars infect all parts of the plant - leaves, stems, heads of cabbage

Despite the abundance of external enemies, the population of this pest is very large, and if you miss the moment, you can forget about a good harvest.

Effective remedies against whiteweed are the drugs Fitoverm, Dendrobacillin and Baksin. In addition, plants should be regularly inspected for the presence of clutches of adult butterflies and promptly destroyed.

Lists for growing in different conditions

There are many varieties and hybrids of cabbage, some can be planted directly in open ground with seeds, some by seedlings.

Using seedlings

The following varieties can be planted for seedlings:

• Moscow late - the heads of this cabbage grow up to 10 kg. Description of the Moscow Late variety: late ripening, resistant to diseases and low temperatures, tolerates transportation well.
• Kharkov winter cabbage is a late-ripening cabbage with a ripening period of 170 days. The heads of cabbage are not large, dense, with excellent taste, weighing 3.5 kg.
• Valentina f1 is a late hybrid, the growing season of which is 180 days. Without seedlings, it can be grown only in the southern regions of Russia. The heads of cabbage are juicy and tasty, weighing 4 kg. Long shelf life - more than six months.
• Aggressor f1 is a high-yielding, heat-resistant hybrid, with heads of cabbage weighing 5 kg.
• Turkiz is a late hybrid, resistant to cracking, diseases and drought.

In the open ground

Which cabbage varieties are the best seeds for open ground? For long-term storage and salting, late-ripening varieties are planted on the site.

Let's look at them:

• Geneva is an early-ripening variety; among late varieties, cabbage will ripen in 140 days. The variety has good lightness and transportability. The shelf life is very long - it can last until the next harvest.
• Slava 1305 - this late-ripening variety is the leader in popularity among Russian vegetable growers, for its excellent taste and ease of care.
• Amager is a hybrid for long-term storage, resistant to pests and diseases. The heads of cabbage do not crack. This cabbage is consumed fresh, as when fermented it acquires a bitter taste.
• Slavyanka is an excellent late-ripening cabbage that is good both fresh and pickled.
• Belorussian - many experts consider it the most suitable for storage and winter preparations.

Boarding order

The Bronco variety is grown by seedlings. Seedlings require certain care, which consists of maintaining the required temperature and watering. When the cabbage grows, it is transferred to open areas.

Preparing seeds and soil

Planting seeds of the Bronco variety occurs at home. Work is carried out in late April - early May. The formation of seedlings takes 45-50 days.

For planting, prepare soil consisting of equal amounts of turf soil and humus. Add a tablespoon of wood ash per kilogram of soil. To increase soil fertility, you can add a little peat. Prepare the soil yourself or purchase a ready-made soil mixture.

Advice! To disinfect the soil, place it in a heated oven or microwave for a few minutes.

Seeds of the Bronco variety also require processing. They are placed in hot water at a temperature of 50 degrees for 20 minutes, after which they are transferred to cold water for 5 minutes. The drug Epin or Humate will help stimulate the germination of cabbage. The seeds are placed in a solution based on it for several hours.

Some manufacturers produce already processed seeds. They are usually painted in bright colors. These seeds do not require soaking and can be planted directly into the ground.

Obtaining seedlings

The soil is poured into boxes 12 cm high. In this case, the grown cabbage seedlings will have to be picked by transplanting into separate containers. Furrows are made in the soil to a depth of 1 cm. Seeds are planted every 2 cm. Leave 3 cm between rows.

To avoid replanting, you can take 10 cm high cups and plant 2-3 cabbage seeds in them. When the Bronco variety cabbage shoots appear, choose the strongest one and weed the rest.

Important! The planted seeds are sprinkled with soil and watered. Cover the top of the container with film

The first shoots will appear on the 4-5th day. Before the first leaf forms, the cabbage is kept for a week at a temperature of 6-10 degrees.

When leaves begin to form, the ambient temperature is increased to 16 degrees. At night its value should be 10 degrees.

Cabbage seedlings are provided with lighting for 12 hours and fresh air without drafts

Water the plants periodically; it is important not to let the soil dry out.

If Bronko cabbage is grown in boxes, then two weeks after the sprouts appear, the mature seedlings are plucked. The seedlings, together with a lump of earth, are transferred to a glass filled with peat and humus.

Transplantation into open ground

Before planting Bronko cabbage in the ground, harden it. First, you can open the window for 3 hours, then the seedlings are transferred to the balcony. A week before planting, cabbage should be constantly in the fresh air.

Planting work is carried out when the plant has 4 leaves and the height reaches 15 cm. The Bronco variety can be planted in the ground from the end of May.

Advice! Cabbage beds are prepared in the fall. The soil is dug up and humus or compost is added.

Bronco cabbage prefers clay soil or loam. The area should be illuminated by the sun throughout the day.

Cabbage should not be grown in beds that contained radishes, radishes, mustard, turnips, rutabaga or any variety of cabbage the year before. Good predecessors are grasses, clover, peas, carrots, and legumes.

In the spring, the bed is leveled with a rake, after which holes are prepared for planting. Seedlings of the Bronco variety are placed in increments of 40 cm. A handful of peat, sand and wood ash can be added to each hole.

The plants are transferred together with a lump of earth and the root system is sprinkled with soil. The last stage is abundant watering of the beds.

How to plant without seedlings?

This method of growing cabbage is optimal if all the necessary conditions for preparing seedlings are not available. If you keep it in the shade or in a poorly heated room, it will stretch out greatly, and when transplanted to a permanent place it will get sick. So, in this case, it is more advisable to sow the seeds directly into open ground.

Planting activities are carried out in the spring, when the soil becomes wet after rains. The most favorable period is the end of April - beginning of May.

Prepared seeds should be sown in open ground in the following sequence:

1. Prepare small holes 2-3 deep with an interval of 25-30 cm. The optimal distance between rows is 80-100 cm.
2. Moisten the furrows with water so that the soil is moist to a depth of 20 cm.
3. Throw 3-5 seeds into each hole and sprinkle with the remaining soil (you can use sawdust or humus).
4. Cover each hole with a plastic bottle with the bottom cut off, trying to insert it deeper into the ground. To ventilate, the bottle cap must be unscrewed for several hours every day. When the first shoots appear, it needs to be removed completely. The greenhouse can be removed only after the threat of frost has completely passed and the plant has grown and begins to touch the walls of the bottle.
5. When several shoots appear in each hole, leave one of the strongest and strongest sprouts 15 cm long, and pinch off the rest or carefully cut them with scissors. It is impossible to pull out excess shoots, since this can damage the fragile root system of the plant.

When grown without seedlings, the growing season will be shortened by 15-18 days, and the yield of cabbage will increase due to the formation of a powerful root system capable of drawing moisture from the deep layers of the soil.

Growing and handling

For maximum productivity, a number of agricultural technology rules are followed.

Regular watering

Moisten the area once every 3 days, taking into account weather conditions. Prevent surface acidification and waterlogging. Systematic watering has a beneficial effect on indicators such as density and juiciness.

Hilling

The procedure promotes the formation of new lateral roots and better development of the root system. Perform 2 times:

• 2 weeks after planting
• a month after the 1st hilling.

Fertilizer

Fertilizing is carried out 2-3 times. The first time nitrogen compounds are watered 7-10 days after planting the seedlings. Then preference is given to minerals with a phosphorus-potassium composition. What can be used for fertilizer:

• complex formulations (Agricola, Sudarushka, Clean Sheet);
• bioinfusions;
• humus;
• superphosphate;
• nitroammofoska or nitrophoska;
• mullein solutions;
• ash.

The raccoon is one of the funniest representatives of mammals. Raccoons are very mischievous and at the same time sociable, peaceful and friendly, they easily make contact with humans. They are endlessly curious and the smartest among animals along with dolphins, monkeys, elephants, cats and dogs.

Raccoon: description and characteristics. What does a raccoon look like?

The name "raccoon" comes from the Indian word "arakun", which translates to "scratching with one's own hands."

Raccoons are carnivorous mammals. Raccoon dogs are close relatives of raccoons (they are often confused with raccoons).

How big is a raccoon? Its body length is usually 45-60 cm. The average weight of a raccoon, depending on the species, can range from 2-5 to 8-15 kg. Moreover, males are often larger than females. The body structure of a raccoon is somewhat reminiscent of a fox or a dog. Raccoon paws are an important distinguishing feature of these animals; they have very elongated pads, even reminiscent of human hands. So all raccoons have excellent grasping abilities.

Raccoons easily climb trees and can manipulate various small objects.

A raccoon's tail is long and usually bushy. As for color, all raccoons are grayish-brown in color, and their tail is colored with transverse black and white stripes.

The raccoon's head is very wide, with a short, sharp muzzle and small, rounded ears.

Interesting fact: all raccoons not only easily climb trees, but also swim well, and can even swim in cold water, which is facilitated by the special composition of their fur, which consists of 90% thick undercoat. specially adapted by nature to protect against cold water.

Lifespan of Raccoons

How long do raccoons live? The lifespan of raccoons at home is 10-15 years. But their relatives living in the forest, in the wild, rarely live even to 10 years.

Raccoon habitat

Where do raccoons live? Raccoons are native to North and South America; they can be found in forests from Canada to Argentina. Raccoons came to Eurasia with the discovery of America by Europeans. Raccoon populations have been established in many European countries, as well as in the Caucasus.

Raccoon Lifestyle

Raccoons are friendly, peaceful, active and curious. However, despite their peaceful nature, they are not cowardly. They can safely defend themselves in case of danger, bite or scratch. They can also make a loud noise in an attempt to scare a potential enemy. In particularly dangerous situations, raccoons may run away or play dead.

Despite their friendliness and sociability, raccoons prefer to lead a solitary lifestyle in natural conditions, coming together only for mating and hibernation. Raccoons, like bears, hibernate for the winter, and the biological mechanisms of hibernation in raccoons are similar to those of bears. Hibernation itself in raccoons lasts depending on the duration of the cold period. Canadian raccoons sleep the longest, in which hibernation can last up to 5 months, but raccoons living in the warm tropics of Central America do not hibernate at all due to the lack of winter in their habitats.

Sleeping raccoon.

Raccoons are crepuscular animals, which means they are most active in the evening and at night, preferring to sleep in their cozy den during the day. But when evening comes, they go out in search of food.

Raccoon diet

What do raccoons eat? Raccoons are omnivores; therefore, they can eat all types of berries, nuts, acorns, fruits and small animals: frogs, large insects, snails, crayfish and crabs. They are very good at catching small fish.

What animals eat raccoons?

In turn, raccoons themselves can become prey to other larger predators: bears, wolves, lynxes, coyotes, wolverines and cougars. Trying to escape from enemies, raccoons often resort to tricks - they pretend to be dead, but when this trick does not work, they run away impossible, they desperately resist, fighting for their lives. However, unfortunately, this is not always possible.

Types of raccoons and photos

There are 4 types of raccoons, and below we will describe them in more detail:

Common raccoon

This is the most common raccoon, living throughout North and Central America, and for some time now in Europe. .

Crab raccoon (aguara)

A distinctive feature of this raccoon is the characteristic pattern around the eyes, somewhat reminiscent of a gangster mask. This raccoon has shorter fur and a more streamlined body. The crab-eating raccoon lives in the jungles of Central and South America.

Raccoon Cozumel

This species of raccoon is very rare, as it lives in a limited area, namely on the small island of Cozumel in the Caribbean Sea. The Cozumel raccoon differs from its other relatives in its brownish-gray fur and the presence of a yellow tint on the tail.

Guadalupe raccoon

This species of raccoon is currently on the verge of extinction and is listed in the Red Book. It lives in humid areas of Guadeloupe, preferring to settle in swampy places, as well as near ponds, rivers and lakes. In appearance it looks like a regular raccoon.

Racoon breeding

Raccoons breed strictly once a year, during the mating season, which occurs either in late winter or early summer (depending on the raccoon's habitat, the further south it lives, the faster the mating season begins).

These animals have no special mating rituals, everything is extremely simple - the male finds the female by smell and mates with her. The pregnancy of a female raccoon lasts 2 months. Childbirth takes place in a secluded place; This is usually a hollow tree or an abandoned burrow of another animal.

From 3 to 8 small raccoons are born at the same time. Baby raccoons, like kittens, are born blind and helpless, and at first they are under the full care of their mother, who feeds them with her breast milk. However, after just a month of life, they begin to grow rapidly. By 4-5 months they can already get food on their own. By their first year, raccoons reach sexual maturity and become adults.

Raccoon as a pet

Because of their friendly nature, raccoons can make excellent pets. Just don't get a raccoon if you live in a cramped apartment, as these animals need space and won't roam around like cats or dogs.

It is highly advisable to give the raccoon a separate room; this will also be its enclosure, in which the animal will feel free. Since raccoons are very smart animals, you can have fun and play with them, but you should also be careful, because if the raccoon thinks that it is in danger, it can bite and scratch. Raccoons are especially aggressive during mating season. Also, during the mating season, a male raccoon can mark its territory, which can lead to a very unpleasant odor. However, a raccoon can be trained to use a litter box, much like a cat or dog.

It is also worth considering that raccoons can be very mischievous; even hooligan animals living in the house can, for example, break all the dishes in the kitchen, throw an expensive TV, and so on. To prevent this from happening, they should not be allowed out of the enclosure.

Raccoons are crepuscular animals, which means that having such a pet in the house will need to adapt to its natural rhythm; the raccoon will most likely sleep during the day, but will be active in the evening and at night.

How to feed a raccoon?

What to feed your pet raccoon? An omnivorous raccoon can be fed in the same way as in the natural environment: various berries, fruits, nuts. In addition, raccoons can be fed with specialized food for cats and dogs, but only premium food. You can give meat and fish raw or boiled, the main thing is not too fatty. Chicken, beef, turkey, veal, and rabbit are perfect meats for raccoons. Raccoons can eat fruits: apples, pears, grapes, bananas, peaches, plums. And vegetables: carrots, fresh peas, asparagus, zucchini.

Interesting facts about raccoons

• Raccoons are master thieves and can steal anything.
• Raccoons are not only first-class thieves, but also first-class burglars, as zoologists once conducted tests in which raccoons figured out how to open ten locks in 30 minutes to get a treat.
• Communication with raccoons has a beneficial effect on children with autism; helps them relax, which is why a special term even appeared - enotherapy (raccoon treatment).

The best mid-season varieties

Mid-season varieties require a longer period for ripening - from 130 to 145 days. These varieties, unlike early ripening ones, contain more sugar and vitamin C. They are suitable for short-term storage and are suitable for pickling, pickling and other pickles.

Rinda

Hybrid from Dutch breeders. Experts recommend growing it in the Central and Volga-Vyatka regions of Russia, but gardeners in Siberia and the North-Western region also cultivate it without any tricks.

The fork is round, very dense, weighing from 3.2 to 3.7 kg, prone to cracking. When cut, it has a yellow-white color. The leaves are thin, elastic, light green. The stalk is short.

Rinda has high yields, tolerates temperature changes, is immune to various diseases, but suffers from attacks by pests - white butterflies, cruciferous flea beetles and slugs. However, this hybrid does not tolerate prolonged droughts and needs plenty of sunlight.

If cabbage is planted in shaded areas, the yield is noticeably reduced.

Tobia

Another Dutch hybrid, which is intended for cultivation in most regions of Russia, with the exception of the Northern, Central Black Earth, North Caucasus, Lower Volga and Far Eastern regions. The head of cabbage has a round shape and weighs a maximum of 3 kg.

The leaves are gray-green with a waxy coating of medium intensity. They are thin, without coarse veins. The cutout of the forks is painted white. When overripe, it does not crack. Cabbage is immune to Fusarium wilt. If overwatered, the lower leaves may rot. Cabbage can be stored for no more than 3 months.

Slava 1305

Soviet variety, bred in 1938. It can be grown in all regions of the Russian Federation. The head is round or round-flat, medium or large in size, dense. Weight can reach up to 7.9 kg, minimum - 2 kg.

The leaves are medium-sized, finely wrinkled, round, grayish-green or green, covered with a weak or medium layer of waxy coating. There is no point in delaying harvesting, as cabbage is prone to cracking. The variety is not resistant to clubroot, Fusarium wilt and vascular bacteriosis.

Forks are stored for no more than 3 months.

Present

Another Soviet variety, which still does not lose popularity among gardeners and is intended for cultivation throughout Russia. The variety is characterized by high yield, seedling resistance to frost and is suitable for long-term storage (up to 5 months).

The head of cabbage is resistant to cracking. The fork is rounded or rounded-flat, very dense with an average weight of 3.5 kg. The leaves are wrinkled, gray-green in color with a strong or medium waxy coating. The edges are slightly wavy.

The plant is undemanding to soil.
